In a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s “Writing with Russo,” WWE veteran Vince Russo made a bold statement, claiming that Carmelo Hayes deserves to win the King of the Ring tournament more than even Jey Uso. This comes as no surprise, considering Hayes’ impressive performance in his recent singles match against Cody Rhodes. Although he was ultimately defeated, Hayes held his own for a significant amount of time, showcasing his incredible talent.
According to Russo, this is the perfect opportunity to push the 29-year-old former NXT Champion to the top. With Hayes advancing in the King of the Ring tournament, Russo believes that a win for the young superstar would be a game-changer for his career. In fact, Russo thinks that Hayes winning the tournament could set him up as a legitimate WWE title contender.
Russo’s comments come as a testament to Hayes’ hard work and dedication to his craft. Despite only recently gaining mainstream popularity in the Stamford-based promotion, Hayes has already made a significant impact. His recent match against Cody Rhodes served as a prime example of his skills, and Russo believes that the experience will only help him grow stronger.
Interestingly, Russo also expressed his dissatisfaction with the match between Hayes and Rhodes, stating that it served no purpose. However, he remains optimistic about Hayes’ future in the WWE, and a win in the King of the Ring tournament could be just what he needs to propel himself to the top.
As the WWE continues to navigate its crowded roster, Hayes is certainly one to keep an eye on. With supporters like Vince Russo in his corner, it’s clear that the young superstar has a bright future ahead of him. As the King of the Ring tournament continues to unfold, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Hayes can capitalize on his momentum and take home the coveted title.
